Show : Share Liberian Homes i Wilh Pets and Pests ! i The pleasures of living In Liberia j are graphically described by a writer j in the CliLTchmnn. "At first," she says. ' ; "my evenings were a long-drawn-out . j last-niglit-ever '. Centipedes on the ; floor; lizards on the walls; flying cock- I : roaches fully two inches long darting ! : abotit, and I just sat with my eyes glued, first on one, then on the other ; : pest, and waited to get hit. Now I can I go on undressing at night and only ". look half a dozen times at the giant " .. ' spider f-l-inch span) which lives on my medicine shelf. But I sink under ; my mosquito net and put out my can- j j die with a quick gasp of relief. I'm j still wh.ole! After a few moments of , darkness papa nnd mamma rat start I training the little rats around tha ! wmIIs, and then Charlie, our pet house j snake, drives them off and quiet ! reigns." '. i |
